Steamed chicken cutlets with thyme and parsley are a tender and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine, perfect for healthy eating. The cutlets are steamed, which helps retain the juiciness of the chicken fillet and enhances the flavor of fresh thyme and parsley. Oat flakes provide structure, while protein makes the cutlets light and airy. Onion and garlic add zest, and spices highlight the dish's natural richness. These cutlets are an excellent choice for a diet; they can be served with vegetables, light sauces, or side dishes. With their mild flavor, they are suitable for both children and adults, creating a sense of home comfort and warmth.
